Kebbi Senators To Dump PDP For APC After Meeting Tinubu

Three Senators from the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) representing Kebbi state in the National Assembly (NASS) have reportedly agreed to join the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

According to compete insider sources, the decision to dump their party followed hours of meeting with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the Presidential Villa on Friday.

Those who attended the meeting included the APC National Chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje, Governor of Kebbi State, Nasir Idris; Sokoto State Governor, Ahmad Aliyu; and the Minister of Budget and Economic Planning, Senator Atiku Bagudu.

The insiders hinted that Friday’s agreement by the Lawmakers, led to the Presidential Villa by Alhaji Ganduje, is a continuation of the recent gale of defections in the country, especially into the ruling APC.

Among the Senators mentioned in the defection plans are former Governor Adamu Aliero (Kebbi Central), Garba Maidoki (Kebbi South) and Yahaya Abubakar Abdullahi (Kebbi North).

“This is already a done deal and the Presidency is only awaiting the public announcement by the Senators involved before reacting to the development which is a sure massive blow to the PDP”, one of the insider sources volunteered
